Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de multiprocesseur. Ce système comprend une pluralité de noeuds et une interconnexion qui comporte des routeurs. Chaque noeud comprend un dispositif de déplacement de paquets fiable et un dispositif de déplacement d'images rapide. Le dispositif de déplacement de paquets fournit des paquets au dispositif de déplacement d'images rapide qui ajoute des informations d'acheminement au paquet pour former une image. L'acheminement vers chaque noeud est prédéterminé. L'image est founie aux routeurs qui efface l'itinéraire des informations d'acheminement.  En cas de perte d'image lors de l'acheminement, le routeur rejette l'image. Si le paquet est reçu au niveau d'un noeud de destination, le dispositif de déplacement de paquets fiable dans ce noeud envoie un accusé de réception au noeud source lorsque le paquet passe un test de détection d'erreurs. Le dispositif de déplacement de paquets fiable dans le noeud source envoie de nouveau le paquet lorsqu'il ne reçoit pas un accusé de réception dans un laps de temps prédéterminé. Le dispositif de déplacement d'images choisit l'itinéraire au hasard entre plusieurs itinéraires  prédéterminés vers le noeud de destination, selon une répartition de probabilités.

Abstract: La production de signaux optiques de référence de fréquence au moyen de diodes laser et de la transition atomique d'un gaz dilué, par ex. l'isotope krypton 84, est connue. Cependant, on obtient dans ce cas une fréquence ne se trouvant pas dans la plage d'attribution des canaux recommandée par l'UIT. En vue de la production d'un signal de référence de fréquence présentant une fréquence souhaitée, un signal est produit au moyen d'une deuxième diode laser puis superposé au premier signal de référence de fréquence pour produire une fréquence différentielle dans la plage des hyperfréquences. Un signal de régulation dérivé de la fréquence différentielle permet de réguler la deuxième diode laser avec la précision de la transition atomique de l'isotope du krypton.

Abstract: The present invention provides highly oriented multilayer films. They are produced by coextruding or laminating films having at least one layer of a fluoropolymer, at least one layer of a polyolefin homopolymer or copolymer and an intermediate adhesive layer of a polyolefin having at least one functional moiety of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof. With this structure the polyolefin layer allows the fluoropolymer layer to be stretched up to ten times its original length. Such a high orientation ratio for the fluoropolymer film increases the mechanical strength, toughness, and water vapor barrier properties of the film while using a thinner gauge fluoropolymer film. Coextrusion processing can be done at higher temperatures, i.e. in the range of from at about 280 °C to about 400 °C. These temperatures allow films to be produced in the absence of polymer degradation and film melt fracture.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically recognizing meaningful patterns in non-stationary periodic data is provided. The invention may be used in making measurements of physiological phenomena, such as arterial blood pressure, wherein data of interest is undergoing small changes in timing and magnitude in succeeding cycles, and wherein noise artifacts are detected along with the data of interest. Data points of interest are identified by grouping all received data points into family groups of multi-dimensional data points wherein each data point in the family group has dimensional values similar to at least one other data point in the family. The present invention may preferably be employed for the determination of a patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. For this application, the data points include a time dimension value corresponding to the delay time between an ECG signal and the detection of a potential blood pressure sound by a microphone placed in an inflatable cuff on the arm of a patient, and a magnitude dimension value corresponding to the cuff pressure at the time of the potential blood pressure sound detection. Data points are collected for a series of cuff pressures ranging from above the systolic blood pressure level of the patient to below the diastolic blood pressure level of the patient. The highest and lowest pressures of data points in the family containing the largest number of data points are used to derive the systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels of the patient, respectively.
